The HDMI ports on the Auzen HTHD are designed to take DVI to HDMI cable from your GPU to the HTHD, then add the audio streams and go HDMI out to your AVR for full bitstream. Like I said every gpu does this now so not a huge factor, but if you want multichannel decoding of Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD output to analog speakers(or you have an AVR that doesn't support hd codecs) and a great headphone amp, you will like the Hometheater.

I also have never seen a nicer PCB. It borders on a work of art IMO.
